Now I ain't never been one to fret
Never saw the point of moanin' about regrets
But as time flies by I'd rather read than write love letters
Fact is looking back is looking better and better
I've buried a wife and divorced a few
Had kids that turned out alright, and some in need of a pew
I've had a good life, even if it wasn't all above board
No, don't ask, that's between me and the Lord
I've had more adventures than most that I've known
I've driven the ice roads of the Yukon
I've fought over oil on the desert sands
Where I lost friends and two fingers on the left hand
But all those adventures are catching up with me
It hurts to get out of bedand then it hurts to pee
I can still play catch and cast a line
It's just a little harder on this body of mine
I hope to see the pearly gates
It's the getting there that aches
Please don't misunderstand
I love life and accept its demands
It's just that while I ain't never been one to fret
Never saw the point of moanin' about regrets
But as time flies by I'd rather read than write love letters
